Section 3 - Configuring your Wireless Print Server
This section provides an overview of the configuration process for Windows operating systems.
Overview
As the Wireless Print Server is designed to support many different platforms, the configuration
required would depend upon the environment in which it is installed.
■
The Wireless Print Server usually requires configuration, but if there is a DHCP server on
your network, then the device is just plug-and-play. A Windows-based setup Wizard is
provided on the CD-ROM to simplify this task. This configuration is not required if you
are using a Macintosh computer.
■
Computers wishing to use one of the printers attached to the Wireless Print Server will
always require configuration. See Section 4- Configuring your Computer for details.
■
If you wish to use a queue-based printing system using Windows NT Server/Windows 2000/
Windows XP, the Network Server must be configured as detailed in Appendix B - Network
Server Configuration. However, it is not necessary to use a Network Server-based queue;
client computers can print directly to the Wireless Print Server using the Peer-to-peer
Printing when installed with the User setup option on the CD-ROM.
Configuration Methods
The following methods are available to perform the required Print Server configuration:
■
Windows-based Wizard.
■
BiAdmin management utility program.
■
Web-based setup.
Advanced Configuration and Management
The BiAdmin management utility is provided for advanced configuration and management. This
program is installed by default when the
Administrator
installation option is selected. See
Section 5 for details on using BiAdmin.
Web Based Configuration and Management
The Wireless Print Server can be accessed directly through a web browser for advanced
configuration and management. See Section 6 for details on using Web Based Configuration.
